PUBLIC SERVICES PRO Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctor visits, missed work and missed school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations. The more people who get vaccinated, the more people will be protected from flu, including older people, very young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions who are more vulnerable to serious flu complications. Lifeworks Erie will be providing flu shots at the Millcreek Municipal Building: September 17th 9am – Noon and 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. October 7th 10am – Noon and 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. November 1st 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. There is no up-front cost when receiving your vaccination. Simply present your primary health insurance card and LifeWorks Erie staff will do all the rest. The cost of the vaccination is usually covered by an individual’s primary health insurance. They will directly bill all health insurance providers, including Medicare and Medicaid. All proceeds remain in Erie County and help underwrite the many programs and services for older adults provided by LifeWorks Erie.
